Solve this system of equations using the elimination method.

Answer:

(6, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our system of linear equations is:

6x + 2y = 18

-4x - 2y = -6

When we solve by elimination, we're essentially "eliminating" a variable so that we can solve for other more easily. Here, let's eliminate the y variable by adding the two equations together:

    6x + 2y = 18

+   -4x - 2y = -6

____________

    2x  +  0y = 12

x = 12/2 = 6

Plug this back into one of the original equations to find y:

-4x - 2y = -6

-4 * 6 - 2y = -6

-24 - 2y = -6

-2y = 18

y = -9

The solution is (6, -9).

Answer:

(6,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2y = 18

-4x - 2y = -6

2y = -4x + 6

6x - 4x + 6 = 18

2x = 12

x = 6

2y = -4(6) + 6

2y = -18

y = -9

(6,-9)

Given s(x) = 2x - 3 and t(x) = 5x + 4. Find the formula and domain for v(x) = s (x) / t (x) and w(x) = t (x) / s (x)
Liula [17]
V(x) = (2x - 3)/(5x + 4)
The domain is all Real numbers except x = -4/5, because if x = -4/5 the denominator would be zero and you cannot divide by zero.
{x | x ∈ R, x ≠ -4/5}

w(x) = (5x + 4)/(2x - 3)
similarly, x ≠ 3/2
so, {x| x ∈ R, x ≠ 3/2}

Consider f and c below. f(x, y, z) = (y2z + 2xz2)i + 2xyzj + (xy2 + 2x2z)k,
qaws [65]
\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=y^2z+2xz^2
f(x,y,z)=xy^2z+x^2z^2+g(y,z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2xyz+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=2xyz
\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0\implies g(y,z)=h(z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=xy^2+2x^2z+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=xy^2+2x^2z
\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=0\implies h(z)=0

\implies f(x,y,z)=xy^2z+x^2z^2+C

Lionel walks 3/5 mile in 1/3 of a day. Cristiano walks 5/8 mile in 2/6 of a day.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

<h3>             Cristiano walked farther</h3><h3> In 1 day:   Lionel walked  1.8 mile</h3><h3>                  Cristiano walked 1.875 mile</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

2/6 = 1/3  so we just need to know what is more 3/5 or 5/8

3/5 = (3•8)/(5•8) = 24/40

5/8 = (5•5)/(8•5) = 25/40

25 > 24  so 5/8 > 3/5

so <u>Cristiano walked farther</u>

They walk for 1/3 of a day so in a whole day they walk three times the distance

3/5 • 3 = 9/5 = 1 4/5 = 1.8 mile

5/8 • 3 = 15/8 = 1 7/8 = 1.875 mile
